Infogrames has silently announced that Transworld Surf is headed to GameCube. It originally released for the Xbox nearly one year ago, and offered up some of the most serious and impressive surfing seen yet on a videogame system. On its way to GameCube, it's picked up a few new features along the way that include the following:

The Karma Meter allows the player to interact with different objects and people to change the game play experience to suit their style. Land a big scoring trick and your karma meter becomes positive so that sharks are less likely to attack you

Interact with many different environments, objects, animals including other surfers/bodyboarders, sharks, dolphins, wave runners, boats, coral etc.) Get eaten by a shark or let the Reef girl tow you out to the gnarliest wave

Avoid being "the shark" by pulling off the biggest tricks in Shark Tag mode. Seven game play modes including single-player Pro Tour, Free Surf and Single Session modes, as well as multi-player Free Surf, Competition, Shark Tag and King of the Wave modes.

In Pro Tour mode, pull off a trick in front of the cameramen for potential magazine opportunities to unlock new breaks and levels

Pumping soundtrack featuring both licensed and original music.

Special user-controlled camera views during game play and replay makes the game play even more realistic
